Saflex.

Designing for Aesthetics
Without light -- color would not exist. Therefore it is perfect that modern day design trends continue to
bring color into glass. Often a path
for natural day lighting, today’s windows offer architects and designers
a dynamic palette on which to display color.
three considerations with the addition of Vanceva® colors by Saflex®. Now hospitals, living rooms
and urban facades can showcase
color in the glazing design. Color
and light are used not only to define space, but to stimulate and
even inspire those who inhabit it.
No longer reserved for paint and
wall coverings, architects and designers continue to push the envelope, developing innovative color
design methods for every glazing
application. When exploring light,
form and space in the design process, glass can be the answer for all
We all see, perceive and experience color in different ways. Let
our Vanceva color experts guide
you through your next color selection to bring your exact design vision to life.
Dream in Color
Thousands of Color Possibilities
Producing a broad spectrum of colors and moods that are unachievable
using stock selections of glass, Vanceva® color by Saflex gives architects
and designers more creative freedom with glass than ever before. Vanceva
color interlayers can be combined to produce more than
two thousand transparent,
translucent or opaque color
options to help create the
desired tone and intensity.
When Vanceva color interlayers are combined with tinted
or reflective glass, the design possibilities are nearly
limitless. No other interlayer
brand delivers the complete spectrum of colors for laminated glass like
Vanceva colors by Saflex. Used in curtain walls, atriums, skylights, partitions
and conference rooms, Vanceva color interlayers allow the most expressive
designs with distinctive hues from the subtle to the dramatic.
Color Technology
All Vanceva color interlayers are made with heat- and light-stable pigments
instead of dyes to resist fading and have
undergone vigorous durability testing to
ensure long-term color stability. In
fact, laminated glass made with
Vanceva color interlayers
deliver effective protection from harmful UV
radiation, reduces
solar energy transmittance and heat
build up. The interlayers
screen
out up to 99% of
damaging UV radiation up to 380 nm to
help retard color fading and the deterioration of fabrics and furnishings. To
determine the best Vanceva color configuration for your project, both spectrophotometer and visual color matching are used.
Additional Benefits of Laminated Glass
In addition to the proven color technology, all Vanceva colors deliver all of
the traditional benefits inherent in laminated glass:
S afety: Protecting building occupants and pedestrians from accidental glass impact, breakage, or fallout.
S ecurity: Providing burglary and forced-entry resistance, ballistic
(bullet) protection and bomb blast resistance.

Translucency & Opacity
In both interior and exterior applications, Vanceva white interlayers complete
the most dramatic designs allowing for total opacity for private settings or
translucent designs to let the light shine in -- plus greater flexibility between
the extremes.

Today, white is more than just a blank slate on which to showcase color. White
can complete a design giving it meaning, balance and strength. While color
influences how people interact in a space, more importantly, it impacts mood,
behavior and productivity. You can trust that Vanceva color interlayers will
provide superior, uniformed color, which results in a unique, even reversible,
white safety glass. It’s one of the many reasons why architects and designers
trust Saflex to deliver the “right white in every light.”
Vanceva Absolute Black interlayer is another option for opaque glazing applications. The interlayer has superior uniform color and is perfect for two sided
glass color or spandrel applications. Vanceva Ocean Grey, a true blue based
grey, can neutralize the color effect of low-e coatings in a laminated glazing
configuration. The color can also be layered with itself to create a gradient
effect of greys from light to dark, creating a dynamic effect.
A coustic: Reducing the transmission of unwanted sound into a building’s environment.
S olar: Filtering more than 99 percent of UV rays, controlling visible
light radiation & reducing heat build-up & thermal stress.
S torm/Hurricane: Delivering a wide range of transparent to translucent hurricane protection glazing solutions.

How to Specify Vanceva® Colors
How the System Works
Vanceva Color Formulation Codes
The Vanceva color system is based on a foundational palette of 4 key colors
One to four sheets of Vanceva color interlayer is typically used to construct
(pink, blue, grey and yellow) in two light transmissions to create a base palette
custom colored laminated glass. Since the maximum number of interlayers is
of 8 colors. Similar to the CMYK
